Ring Elevated Pike Push-Up from Deficit
The pike push-up with the feet on a box and the hands on low rings, so the head can sink below the hands; the deficit and the loose rings make it an advanced press.
How to do it
Setup
Feet on a box, hips piked high, hands on two rings hanging just above the floor, arms straight.
Steps
- Bend the elbows and lower the head below the level of the hands.
- Hold the rings still and the hips high.
- Press back to straight arms.
Common mistakes
Rings swinging apart as you lower: grip hard and keep them under the shoulders. Sinking deeper than you can press out of: build the depth a little at a time. Hips dropping into a push-up: keep the pike; the shoulders do the pressing.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale pressing.
